Union-affiliated censorship group plans to ‘kill Musk’s Twitter’

Donald Trump’s campaign has filed an official complaint accusing Labor of violating US electoral law in sending volunteers, just days after Nigel Farage accused Labor of “election interference” after party advisers traveled to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris. Now leaked documents believed to be from a Labor-affiliated group suggest the left may also be trying to attack Elon Musk’s Twitter as part of its pro-Kamala efforts. My heaven…

Leaked documents believed to have been created by the Center for Countering Digital Hate – founded by Sir Keir Starmer’s now chief of staff Morgan McSweeney – were published on Substack Disinformation Chronicle by Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi. The files reportedly list “killing Musk’s Twitter” as one of the group’s annual priorities, with the sentiment appearing in several documents from the early months of 2024. As Freddy Gray noted today, “fighting digital hate” these days tends to mean shutting down derogatory speech on platforms that don’t already censor right-wing political views. Another of its top priorities is to “trigger EU and UK regulatory action,” while the documents also reportedly show that the group has sought to strengthen ties with senior Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar to increase their “political engagement in the USA”. . How very interesting.

CCDH’s close links with Labor go back to the organization being founded by the Labor leader’s campaign guru – who also founded the influential think tank Labor Together. In fact, Thacker’s Disinformation Chronicle describes CCDH as a “messaging vehicle” for Labor Together – which has close links to the Starmer army, not least because many of its former staff are now MPs. It recently emerged that Labor Together has drawn attention to the US after senior figures in the organization, including former Labor MP Jonathan Ashworth, reportedly shared campaign tips with Kamala Harris. The connections between Labor Democrats and Labor Democrats are getting stranger…

As a non-profit organization, CCDH benefits from special tax exemptions – which it could lose if it is found that a “significant part of its activities seeks to influence legislation”. If the leaked files are authentic, it appears that the Labor Party-linked political entity has some pretty important questions to answer. Mr S. has contacted CCDH – but has not yet received a response. Stay tuned…
